| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts: If prophecy, use it according to the proportion of one's faith; |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7if service, use it in service; if teaching, in teaching; |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, with generosity; leading, with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Let love be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Outdo one another in showing honor. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone's eyes. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God's wrath, because it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20But If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For in so doing you will be heaping fiery coals on his head. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. |
